Synopsis

An exploration of what being adopted into God's family means. The author argues that the key to our liberation as Christians is the biblical image of spiritual adoption. So often we continue to live as spiritual orphans, forgetting that thanks to the saving work of Jesus we have been made sons and daughters of God. Mark Stibbe explores this image of adoption and shares his own story of growing up as an adopted child and the insights his experiences gave him into the heart of God. He shows how we can experience God's fatherly love, through the work of the Holy Spirit.

About this title

Review

This book arises out of teaching that I heard Mark give at St Andrew's Church, Chorleywood. It is a truly life-changing message. As one of those greatly helped by this teaching, I can unreservedly recommend this book. It is destined to become a spiritual classic for the 21st-century church. J John If ever there was a book for our times, this is it! The great biblical truth of our adoption as God's children is here brought to light. From Orphans to Heirs is full of insights which inform the mind and warm the heart - a must for this fatherless generation. Mike Pilavachi "I had the privilege of transcribing the Daisy version of this book for Torch Trust for the Blind. I was greatly impressed by Mark Stibbe's ability to take those of us without first hand personal experience of successful legal adoption (the majority of us I would imagine) along his deeply satisfying personal journey. The book achieved its stated purpose for me and made me very aware of how marvellous is our inheritance, as Christian believers, in our adoption as children of the Living God. This book is well worth carefully reading."
